Maven Securities Arctic Shores Assessment

Graduate Trader Program

Maven Securities runs Arctic Shores as round 2 of its Graduate Trader process, after a numerical test and alongside a probability test. Maven’s own emerging-talent page confirms the Arctic Shores assessment but publishes no task list, and current prep sources disagree on the exact five-game lineup: TradingInterview reports Direction (80 rounds), Balloon (45 rounds), Faces (50 expressions), Security Door (20 rounds) and a Pattern next-in-sequence game (20 rounds, 17-minute limit), while Aptitude Test Prep instead reports Balance, Order, Direction, Expressions and Security. Only Direction and Security appear in both — so treat the union as your practice set. Later rounds add an on-demand video interview and HR plus technical interviews.
